Javascript - Can't Adjust FrameRate - requestanimationframe

Question

I start the loop

function gameLoop(){
   update();
   draw();
   requestAnimFrame(gameLoop);
}

var requestAnimFrame =  window.requestAnimationFrame ||
                  


        

Answer 1

That's how requestAnimationFrame works. If you want a specific framerate, use setTimeout only.

Usually you would take a parameter, which is the current time. Compare it to the last frame's time to find out how far along the animation should move.
